Having loved all the RPGs you listed except Symphonia which I haven't played, I can tell you that DQ8 is the worst RPG I've ever played and that everything in that game is broken beyond hope. I can't find one game I hated more than DQ8, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The story is only a collection of clichés and fetch quest without any interesting plot or characters whatsoever, and the gameplay is very shallow and it resorts much more to grinding over strategy and planning. Whether you take my advice or not is your choice.
Haven't played VP2, though
